Then the Stars Fall by Brandon Witt

5.0

4.5 stars.
When I think of this book the word “real” immediately springs to mind.
A “real” American small town where homophobia exists and causes pain and fear.
A “real” romance that’s about the family and what it takes to blend new love and a family together.
Emotions that are all too “real” when it comes to love, loss, grief and moving on.
This a a brilliantly written, descriptive, engaging, heartfelt character driven plot with excellent pacing. Wesley and Travis are complex and not without flaws. It’s not an easy path by any stretch of the imagination but they do eventually get their HEA. The cast of secondary characters are vital to the story and each get a POV at some stage throughout the book.
This is slow burn romance, where apart from a kiss or two, the sex is all off page.
